Are Hybrid Clubs Right For Your Game? Learn More

Hybrids are often used to replace hard-to-hit long irons or fairway woods in a player’s bag. This utility club blends qualities of both the iron and wood—and it’s great for golfers who struggle with a 2 or 3 iron on the course.

Many golfers struggle with irons 1 through 4. These clubs tend to feature small clubfaces and low loft, producing a lower ball trajectory on each shot. As a result, many players turn to fairway woods, with their larger clubface and sweet spot.

What are hybrid golf clubs?

Hybrids generally have heads that are similar to a fairway wood with a cavity-style back. The clubface creates a “trampoline effect” that mimics the performance of many modern woods. A shorter club shaft is easier for golfers to manage on the course. Many hybrid shafts are composed of graphite for improved flex and swing speed.

When selecting your new hybrid golf club, think about the loft angle that correlates with the club you are replacing. Also, select a shaft type and shaft flex that matches your irons or woods. You will have more consistent play with clubs that are of the same type and flex.
